This Healthy Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake is a quick and easy single-serving treat that’s low in calories and packed with protein. Combining the warm flavors of cinnamon with a soft, moist texture, this mug cake is perfect for a guilt-free dessert or snack made in under 5 minutes using your microwave.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (30g) All Purpose Flour
  • 1 scoop (32g) Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tbsp Swerve Granular (or your choice of 0-calorie sweetener)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (30mL) Walden Farms Pancake Syrup, or your choice of sticky sweetener
  • 1 tbsp (14g) Light Butter
  • 2 tbsp Water

Icing

  • 1/3 scoop (10g) Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1 tsp Swerve Confectioners
  • 1 tbsp (15mL) Unsweetened Almond Milk

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and Swerve granular in a mug or small bowl. For cleaner sides, mix in a separate bowl and then transfer to a mug sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the Walden Farms pancake syrup, water, and light butter into the dry mixture until well combined.
  3. Microwave the Cake: Microwave the mug cake for 60 to 70 seconds or until it is cooked through the center. Be careful not to overcook, as the texture can become tough.
  4. Prepare the Icing: While the cake is microwaving, mix the vanilla protein powder, Swerve confectioners, and unsweetened almond milk in a small bowl to create the icing.
  5. Top and Serve: Once the cake is done, spread the icing evenly on top and enjoy your healthy cinnamon roll mug cake warm.

Notes

  • Adjust microwave time based on your appliance’s wattage to avoid overcooking.
  • You can substitute Walden Farms syrup with any zero-calorie sticky sweetener or sugar-free syrup.
  • For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based butter alternative.
  • The protein powder used affects flavor — vanilla is recommended for this recipe.
  • Use a mug large enough to accommodate the batter rising during microwaving.
